Walmart Heart Event-Jackson Legg













This past Saturday i documented a very special event I had never experienced before. The Walmart Heart Event is put on by local Walmart Truck Drivers for those with special needs or severely ill. There is a convoy of truck drivers than there is a celebration for the beneficiary at the local Walmart. Jackson Legg is a Self-Advocate Board member for the Arc Of Jackson County. He is living with Autism, Cleft Palate Involving 14 Surgeries to correct and a Paralyzed Diaphragm. Jackson participated with his Father Chris Spall as an Honorary truck Driver.

In Conclusion this was a totally new but inspiring event to document and I was blessed to be able to do so. I love fundraisers that benefit those in need. This shows that there really are good people that exist out in this world.
